Trotted off to buy a new family car. Had decided on Aintree Green with Almond trim and lots of wood. Thank god The Moose came along and we've ended up with Suicide Grey and Ivory trim. 22 inch alloys tho. Innit biggrin

It's a nice sensible family car with a diesel engine. wink

Binned the Countach idea but it's still on the market if you fancy it yes

There aren't many cars that can carry off 22" alloys, so I'm going for a Range Rover?

Following our Email exchange I had a call from a local hard-up farmer rolleyes asking me which one I thought he should buy. Told him your 'plan' and I think He is going along similar lines also. He was a bit miffed that I knew someone taking a Jan delivery...He has been told March at best but He won't be getting the first one at his dealer like some lucky chap I know wink
You do realise we will need a meet for me to road test it...now where was that lay-by

Range Rover?

Are 22" wheels OEM or are you playing at being a black rapper?

Can't afford a Countach sadly, was hoping you were going to buy it then fulfill my childhood dream of letting me have a go in it! biggrin

George - OEM

Tony - My dealer has 50 orders and majority going for TDV6. My 4.2 SC has 550 nm. TDV6 600nm. Why pay for more scratchchin

They reckon 12 month wait the way things are going

I have a pre order that you can take over if you like. I decided to drop out as the third row seating option was finally confirmed as not to be happening, not as originally thought by my dealer.

Nick, my 2012 Disco 4 is Aintree with Almond/Arabica - small world.

Tick the £140 heated steering wheel option - FTW!

It's a little 'country', but completely classless and disarming which means its great for work without rubbing folks noses in it like a FFRR used to. I adore my D4, it is fantastic.
Damo. Ashamed to admit it but I have one of those too getmecoat

And you're right it is fantastic

22" rims are just in case you need to borrow the new one John and want to feel at home wink

PS 10mm on the pads eh...1mm down after 6.5k...I must try harder driving
Were you advised to replace caliper bolts too? Calipers have to be removed to replace front pads I believe and bolt replacement is advised (according to my dealer)

So you're getting the L405 RR then Nick? I love the engineering on that, very impressive how they've saved something ridiculous like 400kg. Hate the styling though! Give me a classic RR over it any day cool

Is cream leather not going to be a nightmare with having kids too?
